Hello im Michael and I live in Auckland New Zealand.
I started my E-turbo journey a few years ago and im inching my way there due to low funds.
This is funded by my Youtube channel and so on..
The main point of my channel is to make something and build it in such a way that it is easy for others to then reproduce for free. I like simplicity through Complexity. LOL.. I like to make things simple for people by reducing part counts and using components you can buy off the self. However this means that every thing needs to be controlled by micro controllers and is a lot of complex work for me (in the code) but no effort for the person reproducing it (copy).
A few years ago i finally managed to complete what is frankly the most complex Nerf blaster ever
The nerf blaster uses LIPO batteries, Brushless Motors, ESC's and a Touch screen UI
An E-Turbo is fundamentally the same as my Blaster just on a MUCH larger scale so it seems like a good use for what i have already leant.
Currently E-Turbo's like the torqueamp are "behind the times" with no ability to see whats going on with it. So my project will include a Touch screen UI.. I also want to keep the size , cost and easy of installation simple as possible.. This means i want the batteries to also fit in the Engine bay.
In New Zealand i can not legally drive a E-Turbo car on the roads without it going though a in depth inspection and the mods are recorded against the car. This is apart of the reason i want to keep it all in the engine bay and compact because this is far more likely to pass than doing what others are doing on this site.. I also dont want to be going back getting retested because one test will cost me alot and i will have to save for many many many month for just one test..
I currently have a 1600cc 2006 Suzuki Swift
i will get a pic of it some time soon .. after my recent set of mods.
